Apt-rpm is not at least currently supported in Fedora Core, however
a) you can safely expect various mirrors to provide "apt-rpm enabled"
repositories of it, including www.fedora.us and freshrpms.net.
b) there's work going on to create a generic repository metadata format,
meaning in practise any depsolver supporting that can be used to access
any repository using that format, at which point there aren't
yum/apt-rpm/up2date/red-carpet repositories, they simply become "package
repositories" which you can access with your favorite client.
